Stunning Minnesota Hidden Campsite Found 

I appreciate that.

Lol, Thanks. It really was beautiful. I'm really happy Mandi made it with as well. Hopefully we can make more time together. Life's to short to be spent working all the time.

I agree you need some fishing lessons. Lol

Ouch!...lol

Thank you for the message! It was a great comment. I think there truth behind fish noticing a sent from a person.

Thanks Bill. The sunset was amazing. It looks great on screen, but in person .....it looked like what I Imagine the gates to heaven look like.

Thanks for watching!

Yes it is. And now that the mosquitoe population has gone down a person can sit outside. The weather has been fairly nice too.

Thanks! I just started editing the video. Hopefully it dosen't disappoint.

Thanks Tyson. This was a great find!

She won this week....

Thanks Kevin!

It really was! Thanks!

Thanks! im visiting Mandi right now, and we were talking about sites we want to visit again. So while you were watching the video, Mandi and I were talking about how much we liked that spot. Remind me again, do you live here in Minnesota? If so, I can email you the GPS coordinates. I don't want to put this spot online. My email is kennyofalltradeschannel@gmail.com

@@KennyOfAllTrades I actually live in Arizona but I am moving to Nebraska this summer. I would definitely be will to make a drive up to Minnesota for a spot like that!

@A C Oh yeah, that's right. You asked about Nebraska. I hope the move goes well!

Thanks man! BTW, I sent an email answering those question. Don't hesitate to reach out again.

@@KennyOfAllTrades thanks! I got it and have read it several times as already!

Have fun and be safe out there. The white caps were on the lake I found this weekend. But Adelle and I had a great time. I was up until 3 am editing the video. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Thanks!

I appreciate the tips. Thanks!

I'm going to try the lavender and sage trick. Thanks

She won't let me live it down! She's a good fisherlady. 👍

Thanks! Hopefully I can get a little color too my feet before winter sets in..... in winter the socks never come off

She is quite the fisher lady

She makes eating keto pritty easy. I should look at eating that way all the time.

Thank you John

So true!

Thanks. It's funny that I once was jealous of people out west with all there BLM land. I had no clue there was so much free camping right under my nose. A year later and I have learned alot at reading maps and locating these jems.

I really like your setup. What camper do you use and what truck do you recommend for the truck?

The camper is almost 20 years old but still getting me out on the weekends. It I a 2004 Arctic Fox M860. That line was discontinued in 2005. It was replaced with the 811 model. My truck is a 2015 Silverado 3500 HD. There are so many different opinions on trucks and campers. Here is mine...... Buy what you can afford. If you have the money to buy an F-450 or F-550, that's great! I don't think I would ever say, " I wish I had a lighter payload capacity." My thinking was I wanted a truck and camper that would allow me to explore forest roads and find dispersed camping without having to work overtime or a second job to pay for the setup. I like my one ton single rear wheel short bed setup. If money wasn't an issue I would look at the Ram dually short bed. I think they are the only one manufacturer of a short bed dually. And I'd go with the Arctic Fox 811 or Northern Lite 8-11. I think that would be an awesome setup for my kind of traveling.

@@KennyOfAllTrades I'm retiring soon and plan on doing it full time. Thanks for the quick and informative reply. I really like your videos. I live in the milwaukee area.

YES! THANKS 😊

Great eye!!! I have snuck her into a few videos. I don't think too many people noticed that one.

Thanks. This video was fun to edit.

Thanks it was a fun adventure!

She always tells me how good she is at catching fish.... She has all her stories about growing up on a river and fishing every day..... She thinks she's better at fishing... I disagree, I'm just in a slump. Lol

😆👍

Thank you for watching!!

@@KennyOfAllTrades We LOVE your vids!

I appreciate that!

I tried to sneak in a shot of her. I figured I will try to work her in slowly. Her reflection is seen in the review mirror after we left the first lake.

Yes, I caught her reflection in the mirror and wondered if that got you in trouble. Wife and I would love for her to become more involved with your videos. We also miss seeing your daughter!

Its funny you mentioned that. Adelle took off the 27th and 28th from work , just so we can go camping! I'm really excited and looking forward to that trip. My older daughter also has said she wants to be in a video, but she's shy like Mandi. Maybe after she see Adelle in another video she will want to go. Adelle called Mandi a few days ago just to tell her how excited she is to go camping.

We'll look forward to seeing them! We're camping at an area lake this weekend with our youngest daughter and her family. Her 2 young sons enjoy RVing, especially with my wife who spoils them rotten! The other grandparents have purchased an RV, so we'll have 3 sites. This will be our 2nd time together. Keep up the good work, Kenny, and continue to enjoy your loved ones and exploring. We live vicariously through your adventures!

Thanks!

Thankfully I didn't get into any poison ivy. It was about a 2 mile walk that morning.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks Joe, that was one of my favorites this summer. It's a little tuff to get to but Definitely worth it.

Thanks Mark. This really was an amazing find. We should have made up fish tacos, that's one of our favorites. Next time Mandi comes out we will make it happen

I'll have to make some fish tacos. I love them. I agree with the trout. My dad would take me up to the mines as a kid to go trout fishing. I always thought they were fishy tasting. I'll take sunnies or crappies over trout.

@@KennyOfAllTrades man you’re up pretty late buddy! I’ve taped my eyelids open to try and push it into this night because the stars up here at 10k feet are spectacular and wanted to get some long exposure shots for my next videos. Of course the one time when I spend 30 minutes prepping my campsite, the clouds roll in and they’re not as spectacular as they were last night. Ughh!

That's very nice of you to say. Mandi loves hearing those complements. I'm gonna be sure to tell her. Thanks!

@@KennyOfAllTrades No problem sir. U guyz make an awesome couple and team. Each and everyone of ur videos is a masterpiece. Thank u sir for making these videos. I look forward to watching them daily 😊

I wish I had more time to come with. I work way to many weekends and still have a younger kid at home involved in sports and activities. When Kenny is able to go full time I hope to be able to tag along more! Thank you for the kind comment..

@@mandib757 I understand how hard it is with children and making sure they get to their activities. I have 3 girls myself. I do look forward to seeing more of you in the videos. I also think Kenny smiles more when you’re there with him. He has someone to mess with him. Also when you’re there you can always tell if he does catch a fish 😂🤣

That was an awesome spot.

Yes exactly! She out fished me that time.

@@KennyOfAllTrades Oh Kenny, didn't you hear, they call that "GIRL POWER"! 😆 😅 😄 😃 😂 😁 😉 just kidding 😄 😉 Take care you guys, Keep On Camping! Your friend, Didi 👋 🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟

I think it's time to put together a proper tackle box.

It's true! But I tell her overall Ive still caught more fish.......or at least that what I've convinced myself of. Thanks for watching!

That week at work was draining! Im not a full-time youtuber like alot of these content creators. I still do the Monday through Friday grind and staying late stacking up overtime. I still got out and recorded though...I stayed in a rest stop Friday night, then made my way to a power plant Saturday morning. I found an area up here that has a rare rock formations called ferry stones. It on the Mississippi River. I started editing the video that Sunday. I could see in the video I was tired and the whole thing felt forced. Monday night I deleted the whole thing. I wasn't happy with it. I'm still gonna go back there and share it with you guys. I was thinking of mailing out a few rocks to any viewers that want one.....there only found at 5 or 6 places world wide. Good news is Mandi and I had a great time exploring Paul Bunyan State Forest this last week. The new video will be out tomorrow at 5pm!

Isn't that the truth!

It was an awesome find. This was one of the best dispersed camping spots i have wondered across. Mandi said she wished we could have stayed longer, and I agreed. It was a challenge to get to but well worth it. It reminded me alot of High Rock on Copper Harbor in Michigans UP. Such a cool spot.

Thanks for the high five. I love fishing!

@@mandib757 glad you could go with.

I'm going to step up my fishing game.

Finally! someone gets it!! I totally let her out fish me. It's all a mind game. Now she'll want to keep camping me. Lol Thanks for understanding how to play the long game!

@@KennyOfAllTrades that and the mood lights, you crafty devil.

🤣

Let?? Haha…

Thanks for the suggestion. I have not seen one yet. I'll definitely look into it!

Thank-you, it really was a great find.

@@KennyOfAllTrades What species fish are you targeting?

Small mouth, large mouth and northerns

It's funny though......I have been fishing all my life. I've been in fishing leagues, been in many tournaments, I have always been able to catch fish.....this year though, I can't get a bit to save my life. It's not like I'm new to fishing, I've owned many boats and fish houses. I've been a fisherman my entire life... it's Minnesota, we have a lake every 5 miles in any direction around here. I cannot explain it.

Same here. Fished so much I kinda got out of it but was into saltwater last. Toss a HotnTot for largemouth if you get a chance. I think they still make shallow divers for shore fishing. I use to use a float tube to get into deeper water and drop offs. Requires getting wet though

Jay Jared! Your the first friend from home to comment on the videos. I honestly didn't think anyone from back home watched these videos....That actually makes it easier to record. You know how much of a private person I am. I'll try spinner bait, thanks for the tip. Maybe this winter we can get on the ice, you could put me on the spots where you pull out the monsters. You could be in the video!

@@KennyOfAllTrades your video's are great. Didn't know there is so much stuff in MN to do. Sounds good will go fishing this winter!!

I have learned alot over the last year. I had no idea there were so many dispersed sites either. North of Brainerd to Canada theres so many options. The central and southern part dont have the same opportunities. I once thought I'd be moving to Montana or Wyoming when the kids moved out of the house. But my eyes have been opened to the endless outdoor activities this state offers.......if the taxes weren't so darn high, I would say Minnesota is one of the best states.

@@KennyOfAllTrades you've definitely opened my eyes about this state. Keep up the awesome work!!

Mandi and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary together. One day I'll ask her to marry me. (She won't look back at these old comments, so it's ok that I dropped that here) We started dating when we were both raising our kids. She had her home, I had mine, and I worked out for both of us to have our space. It's actually worked out nice because 10 years later we are both still in love and enjoy our time together and miss each other when we are apart. Mandi will say she is better at fishing because she grew up on a river......I just let her think that!

Every Kenny I have met as been pritty chill. If your getting a truck camper I hope you find as much enjoyment in it as I do! I love the freedom with not having something to pull behind me.

It’s an oldie but a goodie. I really need a new reel…

I need a kayak!

@@KennyOfAllTrades it would improve your fishing success

That was a real nice surprise to come upon that spot. I find my far share of remote campsites here in Minnesota, that was one of my favorites.

Thanks. It was beautiful. One of the most peaceful and quiet sunsets I have seen in a while. I should have recorded the loons and used that audio in the background. Their calls are beautiful but haunting at the same time.

Lol Thanks John, I'll pull a few through the ice soon.

This summer I'm going to spend more time on the water. I will definitely be pulling in more fish this year. I tried this past weekend. I ran into a few issues......you will see the mistake I made in tonight's video.

@@KennyOfAllTrades awesome good luck! Cant wait to see you real in a lunker!

Lol, don't be putting stuff in her head now! 🤣

Spykers B I like the way you think. ;) I do film for him from time to time.

The bugs were almost nonexistent. Just a few horse Flys. We could leave the door open with no problem. Once it got dark the Mosquitoes came out. But not to bad! The temperature was about 72, the due point was maybe in the 50's, absolutely perfect conditions.

The App I use is On X hunting. It shows public lands. From there I zoom in and try to follow forestery roads untill I see an opening along the trail. I pin possible camping spots in Google Maps. Then I go scouting on the videos. I spend my lunch breaks at work on Google Maps. Lol

@@KennyOfAllTrades The extra effort sure pays off for you Kenny......and us viewers :)

Thanks, hopefully Mandi gets more comfortable on camera over time and will make more appearances.

I was so beautiful!

I'll be on the lookout for the lure. Thanks

Hahaha, yes, you are right...
